Just worried the circuit being identical could confuse a newbie
maybe showing the diode block charge and fly back events.

That was a thought that came when you asked : )

Ack! You changed your image... I hardly recognize you anymore!

Is the force still with you?

Of course.....

Kiteman posted the original picture in a reply to me yesterday.

He is Professor Branestawm - a character in a series of children's stories I read when I was younger too.

I was going to ask - "what on earth are you always doing commenting on my stuff at ridiculous hours of the morning"...I post all night on my shiftwork 911 job...you must be mad to be awake at this hour...

Then I realized that you're of course 110 degrees around the planet from me 7 hours ahead...then I felt silly....then I typed this.

My extended family is all up north there, Rotherham (Sunnyside) and an uncle/his family in the south (Calne, near London)...

I've got to make a visit one of these years. It's been ages since I saw the UK.

steveastrouk (author) in reply to frollardMar 2, 2010. 7:29 AM

Rotherham is about ~60km from here roughly.
About 40km from Lemonie too.
With luck, Jayeefu should be working for me in June.

Fantastic news! I'll make it a conscious effort to visit next time I'm around (makes a 15 hour flight that much more worthwhile) :)

Yep. That's the thrust of the book !
HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy is one of the funniest books published in English.

Oh, okay. Thanks! I've been considering reading it, but haven't had the chance. Now I see there's a deeper meaning, I may be more motivate to grab a copy.
